Water, life’s most essential resource, touches every aspect of our lives. We recognize that water is an essential resource, vital for health, food production, and so much more – but in many parts of the world, clean water access is not as easy as just turning on a tap. This World Water Day and every day, we recognize the critical need for clean water, while acknowledging that global water challenges affect everyone, but not equally, especially impacting women and girls.
Access to clean water continues to be a challenge for many parts of the globe, and disproportionately impacts women and girls, who are often responsible for collecting water. Pentair aims to advance inclusive and sustainable communities by investing in the availability, quality, and enjoyment of water in communities around the world. Pentair and the Pentair Foundation provide grants to partner organizations that include a focus on improving water access and quality. Recent grant-supported projects helped to provide more than one million gallons of cleaner, safer drinking water annually and install 28 new clean water systems in the communities they serve*.
